[video] July 16th: Employment Opportunities [cw: sex work/prostitution]

[yakiniku]

[Hanzo is positioned in the same way in front of the camera as he was the last time he had to make a message like this, but this time his hair is overgrown and white, but he has the wild locks pushed over one shoulder making it seem just a bit neater.]

Hello again. This is Hanzo Shimada.

Last month I asked if there would be any interest in a brothel catering to Moonblessed, and while there were a lot of people who did not understand or did not approve of the concept, there were also those who did show interest. Some who were not interested also voiced approval for the idea.

So on the first day of this month's triple moon cycle, I would like to announce the opening of Flux. We are located on Level 3.

We have job openings for paid moonlacing partners as well as security personnel. Please let me know if you are interested, and I will provide more information to you. Otherwise if you have questions, I have time to answer them.

Thank you.

[Before ending the video, he leaves his desk to go to the outside of the building for a good shot of the entrance should anyone prefer speaking with him in person instead.]

( Sorry, Hanzo, he'll warm up eventually to it— but a first meeting isn't one he expects more than a handshake for. People knew better than to touch the clean freak where he came from. Levi, however, hears the quiet ping on the wrist device and glances down to see the chroma balance go up from it, even as he moves away.

What... the fuck is that??? Money??? Yeah, he looks a little baffled. )

I'm not really one for commiseration; knowing that everyone else is in the same boat doesn't make it any better. ( It just means it sucks for everyone. He'd rather it not suck at all. Call him sentimental; he fought to save humanity for years on end, can you blame him for having better hopes for others? ) So all that white hair and ears— that's not how you always look?

I've been managing. I haven't sprouted anything like that, if that's what you're asking. Noticed my nose is a bit sharper and I'm easier to irritate.

( But that isn't necessarily out of the ordinary; a bad day is a bad day, and he's a crabby person as a baseline, sometimes. It didn't strike him as odd. )

[It's money! Surprise!

Hanzo sees the look on Levi's face and forces himself not to smirk until he looks away. Levi must have been relatively new to this. He recalls being in a similar situation himself not so long ago.]

No, it does not really change things, but it gives the illusion that it is slightly less unfair. To me, anyway.

Sometimes my hair does not change color and does not grow. Once I became a dragon-man rather than a wolf-man. I have never not changed, though. I just know that it is also possible to not change for consecutive months.

[Easier to irritate? Hanzo cocks his head to the side when he looks over to Levi again. Yes. It hadn't hit him before because Levi had been polite enough, but he can see that the guy is very...particular? And that could definitely mean he is easily irritated by things around him.]

Perhaps your changes are all internal, then. Just be careful to avoid conflict. It will be hard but there are many moonblessed out there with strong abilities that are also feeling highly irritable at that time. I would not want you getting hurt.

( DOLLA DOLLA BILLS??? YO!!! But yes, he's very relatively new. Also, no one's really tried touching him. Have you seen his face? Enough stink to scare off the homeless. It isn't that he particularly minds it, he just isn't used to it from strangers and needs time to acclimate to them.

In short, he's skittish. Like some wild dog on the streets. )

And that's just... normal, for you? Always? ( Even before he ended up here? But Levi has manners where they're due, knows when to hold his posture. He never really slouches and he never bites back his vocabulary, but he can heel well enough. "Particular" is a good way to put it. ) And yeah, already figured that much out. Or I wouldn't have responded to an offer for security. You don't have to worry about me getting hurt, though.

I fight "giants" back home.

[yakiniku]

Normal? [He laughs a bitter little laugh and shakes his head. Hanzo's been here so long now that he's almost entirely used to not being himself a couple times a month. Almost.]

Nothing here is normal, and I would not recommend getting used to it or growing complacent. It just so happens that there is no alternative at present to go back to where we all came from. [At the mention of fighting giants Hanzo has to double take again. He doesn't know how to express his surprise at that news without coming off as rude or insulting. Levi does not look, at first glance anyway, the type to fight anything much less giants.]

What do you mean by that? Giants? Very tall humans?
